Chapter 406: Zhan Clan’s Zhan Hong

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Wu stared blankly at everything that had happened in front of him. He was still in a daze.

“Who… Who are you?!” he screamed. At this moment, he did not care about his face anymore.

He never expected that his fellow disciples would be defeated by the man in just a few breaths. Although the Mysterious Sky Sect was not a first-rate sect, it was still a second-rate sect!

To be able to participate in the Grand Sect Competition meant that the seven of them were the cream of the crop in the Mysterious Sky Sect. Now, they had all died at the hands of one person.

This sudden huge blow almost suffocated Liu Wu.

!!

“Zhan Clan, Zhan Hong,” the man stared at Liu Wu like a wolf and said coldly.

As soon as he said this, the surrounding people could not help but burst into an uproar.

“He’s actually from the Zhan Clan!”

“But I’ve never heard of Zhan Hong’s name.”

“I heard that the Zhan Clan head has a personal disciple who has been training in the clan’s Secret Realm. I think his name is Zhan… Zhan Hong?”

“This guy is actually the Zhan Clan Patriarch’s personal disciple?”

“No wonder his strength is so formidable!”

One voice after another rang out, and all of them were either surprised or praising.

Gu Xi was also surprised.

“Zhan Clan, huh…”

He muttered, and a subtle change appeared in the way he looked at Zhan Hong.

As such, this Zhan Hong was already on his must-kill list.

The personal disciple of the Zhan Clan head was definitely one of the best among the younger generation of the Zhan Clan. If he could find an opportunity to kill him in the Grand Sect Competition, that would be great!

On the other side, Liu Wu, on the other hand, had already been scared silly.

“Zhan Clan… Zhan Clan… Zhan Hong…”

He kept repeating it over and over again, and his body had already begun to tremble involuntarily.

He never expected that he would run into a brick wall today.

“It’s your honor to die in my hands today,” Zhan Hong said calmly, and at the same time, he held the short dagger and walked toward Liu Wu.

Seeing this, Liu Wu subconsciously kept retreating, but he did not expect that he would fall to the ground. He tried his best to get up, but the corpses of his fellow disciples made his legs go soft. He could not get up.

“Please… Don’t kill me…”

“I know I’m wrong, I won’t do it again, please…”

Liu Wu’s eyes reflected Zhan Hong, who was getting closer and closer. He kept begging, and his words were even filled with tears, but Zhan Hong did not care at all.

He even looked at Gu Xi and the other two behind him for help, but the result was naturally not what he wanted. The three of them looked colder and colder, and they also chose to ignore his request for help.

“Give up, this is your destiny.” Coming to Liu Wu, Zhan Hong glanced at him indifferently, and the dagger in his hand immediately fell towards his chest.

The dagger reflected in his eyes was cold, and Liu Wu’s heart was cold.

“You dare do this?!”

At this critical moment, a stern shout came from not far away.

Immediately after, a rather extraordinary fluctuation approached, and before everyone could react to what had happened, they saw a slightly hunched old man appear in the middle of Zhan Hong and Liu Wu.

A hand that was like a withered tree blocked this fatal blow for Liu Wu.

After recognizing the old man, Liu Wu’s originally pale face suddenly flushed red. Somehow, he got the strength to stand up, and he pointed at Zhan Hong in front of him and spoke sternly, his voice full of grievance. It was as though he had suffered a great tragedy. “Elder… it’s him… it’s him who killed Wang Li and the others!”

After hearing this, the old man’s gaze landed on a group of lifeless corpses not far away. His weather-beaten face instantly darkened.

He was the Grand Elder of the Mysterious Sky Sect this time around. He had the responsibility to protect his disciples. Currently, six out of seven disciples had died!

How could he not be angry?!

Under the current situation, even if he could bring Liu Wu back to the Mysterious Sky Sect safely, if he could not give an explanation to the sect, he would be dismissed from his position as an elder and expelled from the sect. At worst, he would be erased, or he would spend the rest of his life in endless torture!

“How dare you kill the disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sect!”

The old man took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate.

He did not intend to kill Zhan Hong, but wanted to capture him alive. Only by doing so could he keep his current position after returning to the sect, and there was a high chance that he would not be severely punished.

“It’s just the Mysterious Sky Sect, so what if my Zhan Clan kills a few of your disciples?”

Just as the old man was about to make his move, Zhan Hong’s simple sentence caused the spiritual power in his body to stop, and he was stunned on the spot.

The Zhan Clan was a genuine first-rate sect!

The difference between a second-rate sect and a first-rate sect was not just a little bit!

If they angered the Zhan Clan, not to mention killing a few of their top disciples, even wiping out the entire Mysterious Sky Sect would not be a difficult thing to do.

“B*stard!” The atmosphere was silent for a moment before the old man suddenly turned around and gave Liu Wu a resounding slap. He pointed at Liu Wu’s nose and scolded, “Are you blind?!”

Liu Wu was also stunned by the sudden change. For a moment, he did not know what to do.

“This… Young Friend… It is my disciples who are blind. You are magnanimous… why don’t we end this matter here?” The old man took a deep breath and his voice was full of pleading.

The fall of six elite disciples was a huge blow to the Mysterious Sky Sect. Facing the Zhan Clan, the only thing he could do now was to try his best to protect Liu Wu.

Liu Wu’s survival could at least be considered as leaving a good seedling for the Mysterious Sky Sect.

Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but sigh helplessly.

In the face of the absolute difference in overall strength, what bullsh*t age and experience? These things were all worthless. Only a tough fist was the truth!

“Since Senior is so lenient…” Zhan Hong pondered for a moment before turning his head to look at Qing Zhu who was not far behind him. Seeing that the latter did not show the slightest bit of displeasure, he continued, “Then I will spare his life this time.”

Once these words were said, Liu Wu and the old man could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

If Zhan Hong did not let go of this matter, then the matter today would not end so easily.

“Many thanks, Young Friend. Goodbye.”

The old man cupped his hands towards Zhan Hong and immediately dragged Liu Wu, who had not yet recovered from his shock, to break through the crowd and rush into the distance. It was as if he was afraid that Zhan Hong would suddenly go back on his word.
